Reliable Trackside and ALO Walling Solutions approved by Network Rail.
Legato® interlocking concrete walling from Elite Precast provides a robust, modular solution for use on Network Rail and rail infrastructure projects, including ALO works and trackside walling. Designed for strength, speed of installation and flexibility, Legato walling is well suited to rail environments where access windows are limited and long-term durability is essential.
Manufactured in the UK from high-quality precast concrete, Legato interlocking blocks enable the construction of secure, free-standing walls without mortar or complex foundations, supporting efficient delivery on live rail and possession-based projects.
Key Applications
ALO (Asset Protection & Line-of-Route) Applications
Legato interlocking walling is commonly used within Network Rail projects to provide:
All lines open safety system
Asset protection barriers
Boundary and segregation walls
Temporary or permanent protection to rail infrastructure
Secure demarcation between operational railway and adjacent land
The modular nature of the system allows walls to be installed, modified or removed as project requirements change, supporting both temporary construction phases and permanent infrastructure solutions.
Trackside Walling Solutions
For trackside environments, Legato interlocking walling offers a practical alternative to traditional in-situ concrete or masonry construction. Typical applications include:
Trackside retaining and containment walls
Equipment and plant protection
Storage or segregation areas within rail compounds
Noise, screening or safety barrier support structures
The mass of the concrete blocks provides excellent stability, while the interlocking design ensures structural integrity without mechanical fixings.
Why Choose Elite Precast
With decades of precast expertise, in-house engineering support and a proven delivery record on projects of every scale, Elite Precast is the partner specifiers trust. We pair robust, repeatable manufacturing with the flexibility to engineer bespoke solutions when a standard product will not do.
Benefits
Key Benefits for Rail Projects
Rapid Installation
Interlocking design allows fast construction during short possession windows, reducing programme risk.
No Mortar or Curing Time
Blocks are dry-stacked, enabling immediate use once installed.
Minimal Groundworks
In many cases, Legato walling can be installed on a suitable prepared formation, reducing excavation and disruption.
Modular and Reusable
Walls can be dismantled and reused elsewhere on the rail network, supporting sustainable construction practices.
Durable and Low Maintenance
Precast concrete construction delivers long service life in demanding trackside conditions.
Suitable for Temporary and Permanent Works
Legato interlocking walling can be used for both temporary rail works and permanent installations, subject to project design requirements. This makes the system particularly valuable for phased Network Rail projects where layouts evolve over time.
